Asbestos removal in Worth Abbey
About our asbestos removal in Worth Abbey
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about loft water tanks and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving cement roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In a village like Worth Abbey, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Worth Abbey, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

What drives the price:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Materials found mid-project
For non-domestic buildings like Oriel High School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
